I'm disappointed about the door noises and people disrespectful of the interview, come on man be professional in how you record your podcast
@@LightningNyembe We sincerely apologize if this fell short of your expectations. However, you weren’t there to experience the situation firsthand. The interview took place at Downtown Studios, and although we were told the space would be available, other people unexpectedly showed up for rehearsals. To clarify, this is not a podcast. While the result may not meet your exacting standards, it’s far better than letting the story go untold. I hope you were able to focus on the value of the narrative, rather than being distracted by the setting. If you review our previous work, you’ll see that we are meticulous and deeply committed to our craft. The essence of this project is that I presented a story with unique significance, one that hasn’t been told before. Please try to overlook minor imperfections like the background door. Perhaps next time, a paid contribution could help us secure a more polished studio experience. What do you think? It could be an opportunity for us to elevate the production. Thank you for your understanding, and God bless.
Greatly said sir, Manzini omkhulu, much respect Baba, sengathi uMvelinqangi angasigcinela wena njalo 🤝
Great one Billy. We really appreciate your content. This legend did wonders on the ipcc albums 👌🏿.
Hawu madoda, uZungu uqobo lwakhe. This guy is a very warm personality, I met him in Gallagher Estate and we shared a stage, he was playing with Makeba s band at the time.
So,this is the guy who plays Guitar Man👏🏿. The man has killer skills playing octaves👌🏾...dlala guitar man, dlala isonginci🕺🏾🔥🎶

Hi please teach me when I am done fixing my guitar
Billy monama now thats a jazz name. A good friend of mine says gifts are a handed to you, but some people just know what they were made for, and they do it. Your illustrations are worth the understanding or the message it carries about sa historic jazz which is fading into nothing. Keep up the great work kana ke a 90's baby.

My favourite man of all time. ..I followed Soul brothers at my young age in swaziland. .I did not miss any of their perfomanes in mbabane...I remember when I heard from the radio about Zakes Mchunu s passing I cried as if he was one of my family member that's how I was closed to the as oul brothers...yhoo I myself can write a book about this band...at one stage we went with them to the palace to perfom for king Sobhuza 11...there is not even one album that I don't have...even my girls like soul brothers through me....yhoo their music is so good for the Soul. ...which they come more to Durban.....the last time I watched them was in swaziland their first show after the late Mbuso David Masondo yhoo what a vocalist a dancer yhoo...we thank a God for giving us such a band...their are of so much inspiration to most of us...God Bless you Mtimandze.
Welcome over baby, stoff sam samalahle, nguk thandi ngoma vutha njalo.... iyo...... iyo Iyo ha bafwethu , i repeat, people used to sing n even the word play
